“Woman’s Shocking Discovery at Hospital: She’s Been Declared De@d!

Susan Johnson, a 62-year-old retired housekeeper from Scarborough, was left reeling when she visited Bridlington Hospital in Yorkshire for a scan, only to be told by staff that she had been dead for four months! The mother-of-two was baffled and shaken by the news, which was later revealed to be a bizarre administrative error.

When Susan arrived at the hospital, she was told by staff that their records showed she was deceased. Despite her protests, they simply bid her farewell and sent her on her way. The incident left Susan in a state of shock, and her husband Bob had to bring her a strong coffee to calm her nerves.

The mistake was eventually traced back to an electronic instruction from Primary Care Support England (PCSE), which had incorrectly declared Susan de@d. The error had a ripple effect, causing her carer’s allowance for looking after her disabled husband to be briefly stopped.

Susan was understandably distraught, feeling like she had “shut down completely” with no one to turn to about the mistake. However, she has since found solace in her hobbies of gardening and knitting as she recovers from the shock.

An NHS spokesperson acknowledged the error, stating that the incorrect civil de@th registration was removed within 24 hours of being reported in March 2023, and Susan was re-registered by her GP. They encouraged Susan to contact them directly to explain further.

This bizarre incident serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate record-keeping and communication in the healthcare system.”
